Pete Buttigieg Thinks ‘We’re Still Underreacting to Project 2025’
And he’s right.
Fair.
It’s that whole part where after 8 years of more or less constant duress, for one reason or another, there’s a limitation on how much more catecholamine response can be elicited within the human body. People are tapped out.
Probably why this joyful shit is so effective. Context truly is everything.
But yeah, both my uterus and my mental health are shuddering in horror at Project 2025. I can’t read all 996 pages, but I’ve read through some items. Ezra Klein podcast had a nice hour long discussion with both left and right regarding how this is a gender election, at the visceral level. For both men and women. Toxic masculinity does no favors for men, long term.
We really are just cave people with laptops.
Because We are
"You should vote harder! You're not voting hard enough!"
McKinsey Consultant Tier work from a McKinsey Consultant department secretary. Hope President Kamala cans his ass.
Who is “we”?
I have only one official act I can do to “react” to P2025, and that’s vote for anyone opposed to theofascism in the US. Am I, personally, suitably horrified at what the theofascists want to do to what remains of democracy in this country? Absolutely.
But other than civil disobedience or outright revolt, that’s all most of us can do to react to Project 2025.
Posting online and raising awareness in general can be helpful for movements. Which is exactly why conservatives get so upset about SJW - online campaigns work.
If we stopped donating to specific campaigns and started donating to organizations that are lobbying against voter suppression we could all do much more than our single vote allows
We don’t have money to donate.
strikes are a thing, civil disobedience is a thing.
The most worrisome thing is project 2025 doesn't go away if Harris gets in. She'll simply be the person holding their finger in the dyke.
Yes, even if a fuckin miracle happens and Gen Z shows up to obliterate the Republicans in Congress and Democrats get a freaking supermajority, they won't have gone away. Their billionaire backers will still be gagging to overthrow democracy, they'll just give up on that avenue of attack.
Ima put that one on the media. I'm out here raising the flag, yo.
Well than they aren't explaining it well enough, maybe bring up schedule 7, which is a fundamental part of project 2025 and the start of a potential dictatorship
Yeah because wasn't he like a counter-terrorist intelligence officer or something? I'm sure this reeks to high hell to him.
I can’t see his name anymore without hearing this.

Y'ALL ARE LETTING IT HAPPEN WHILE IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING
"Letting"? How do you stop people from making plans?
I don't know if you know this but p25 is already well under way with massive changes being made by the captured judicial branches as well as heritage foundation approved bipartisan bills being passed.
The administration has the entire plan in their hands. They could at least act in some way to put up safeguards so that our democracy isn't instantly dismantled the second a republican president is sworn in. Otherwise it's only a matter of time before it happens regardless.
Edit: All y'all demanding me come up with a solution. I am the one asking for anyone in charge to come to with a counter plan. The republicans have a plan to dismantle the government as soon as they enter power and are currently enacting pieces of their plan under a democrat administration. They will continue doing so regardless unless they are stopped.
WE CANNOT COUNT ON WINNING EVERY ELECTION IN PERPETUITY
As soon as the republicans win it's over. If there is nothing that can be done to stop them THEN WE'VE ALREADY LOST
Edit2: The biden admin might not have congress, but they could at the very least create proposals or laws that could stem the tide and hold on to them until they know they would pass, but as far as I'm aware they haven't done or talked about anything like that
They aren’t in charge of Congress, who actually makes laws (i.e. the crucial one here) or the Supreme Court (maybe you noticed this at some point?)
The 50 year old bipartisan effort led by the Heritage Foundation? Maybe Dems are “underreacting” because they cant seem to get ahead of issues they’ve supported since the beginning
The closest thing to bipartisanship that the Heritage foundation has ever done was when one of their janitors used some blue colored soap in the restroom. It was quickly changed out for some RED soap as soon as someone noticed.
Is that why every sitting president since Reagan has adopted Mandate for Leadership?
‘Effing John Brown with the W, not surprised.
Eh maybe you should look at their comment history. In another thread they're shilling for Cornel West because he (is pretending that he) thinks that will allow him to absolve himself of the murder of millions of Palestinians, while ignoring the glaring red flags about billionaire Harlan Crowe funding his campaign.
I guess billionaire far-right Republicans actually really care about Palestinians right? That's why they're pushing so hard to get a progressive candidate on the ballot in swing states, right? They just believe in having fair elections, right?
Edit - my apologies, this was the other anti-Democratic party shill that was making nonsensical "arguments". My bad.
The name will be changed in a couple of years, and it'll be embraced by someone from the DNC and liberals will love the entire idea. Like they did NAFTA, the ACA, and several other ideas that originated with the Heritage foundation
They dropped their support for the abolition of the death penalty from their platform
Slap bipartisan in front of anything bad and people lap it up.
We will make sure America has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world
